"Al-Mabṭūn (one who dies of an abdominal illness) is a martyr." Scholars have differed in defining Al-Mabṭūn. Some say it refers to any disease in the abdomen, while others have restricted it to diarrhea or dropsy. Still others have made it encompass anyone who dies from an abdominal illness, absolutely.
